Features of agricultural cultivation technology
Cultivation is most often carried out from seeds by direct planting in the ground. To obtain an early harvest in regions with insufficient warm temperatures, seedling planting is practiced. In open ground, sowing is carried out when the soil reaches a temperature of 8 to 15 ⁰C.
The soil must be rich and fertile, for which purpose it is enriched with manure, peat, and mineral fertilizers. Immediately before planting, the places of future holes are spilled with warm water and the seeds are deepened to a distance of 1.5 to 2 cm. The recommended planting pattern is 50 by 50 cm. At first, it is recommended to form a film cover, which is removed after the first shoots appear.
When grown by seedlings, the time for working with planting material is determined so that by the time of planting the seedlings reach an age of 20 to 25 days and have from 3 to 5 true leaves. The optimal time for planting is considered to be mid-May, when the threat of frost is reduced to zero.
Caring for the plant does not have any special requirements.Agricultural cultivation technology consists of periodically removing green mass, loosening, watering the soil and applying mineral fertilizers. Warm water is used to moisten the soil, otherwise yields may be reduced.
